sfeed 0.9.18 was released and a separate front-end is in development

sfeed is a tool to convert RSS or Atom feeds from XML to a TAB-separated file.
There are formatting programs included to convert this TAB-separated format to
various other formats. There are also some programs and scripts included to
import and export OPML and to fetch, filter, merge and order feed items.

It is network-protocol agnostic and works well for gopher. It uses curl by
default for data transfers.

It can be found at:
* git://git.codemadness.org/sfeed
* gopher://codemadness.org/1/git/sfeed


sfeed
-----

This minor release contains improvements to the format tools, bugfixes and
documentation improvements. It now also contains an example to export items
from newsboat sqlite3 to the sfeed(5) TSV format.


sfeed_curses
------------

There is also a separate curses front-end in development called sfeed_curses.
It is just a simple UI with a sidebar panel listing of the feeds and a panel
listing the items. The interface is inspired by mutt.

A more detailed blog post / article is available here:

Thanks to
---------

* adc had some good suggestions to improve gopher output support. It now
  detects gopher uri's and links them directly (as opposed to use the h type and
  "URL:" suffix).
* leot for maintaining pkgsrc ports of sfeed and some of my other software.
* lich for suggestions to improve the Atom output and making it more useful.
